Strengths

- “They say their teachers are kind and help them to learn a lot in lessons.”
- “Pupils are also kind to each other, for example supporting new pupils to settle in when they join the school.”
To improve
- “In some foundation subjects, the school’s work to identify what content to assess is still developing.”
